son of a gun 与 son of a bitch：
son of a gun 是对好友表示一种惊讶的口语（an interjection or an exclamation of surprise between very good friends），有点像「坏蛋」、「家伙」的味道。
但 son of a bitch（或 SOB）是美国人极为严重的骂人话（curse word），千万不可乱用，以免闹事。因为这不但意味这位 son 没有确定的父亲，同时母亲也是缺乏道德和贞操（less virtuous）。 例如：
* I have not seen you for a long time；you （are）son of a gun！（你这坏蛋啊，我好久不见你了！）
* After the two men called each other“son of a bitch”（SOB）,they started a fight.（这两位男子互骂SOB後，就动起武来。）
至於 son of a gun 的来由，据说从前女人可以住在海军船上服务。结果一位女人生下孩子时，不知父亲是谁，於是船上的人，就以「gun」做为孩子的 paternity，孩子也就被称为「son of a gun」。虽然只用在好友中，但有时也真有坏蛋的意思（evil person or a rogue）所以不是恭维语（complimentary word），除非真正好友，少用为妙。

If we intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menu, make a shopping list, decide which food to cook first, and such planning is an essential for any type of meal to be served.
而我们每个人在日常生活中都在不停地画着这样的欲望蓝图。比方我们想请朋友吃晚餐，我们就会筹划菜谱、写购物单、决定先煮什么菜等，这样的筹划对于举行任何形式的宴请都是必不可少的。
When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something tangible to sell.
当你为自己的能力和欲望仔细地筹划了一幅蓝图后，你就有实在的东西可以兜售了。

Yet the BBC will have to change, because the broadcasting world around it is changing.
然而BBC将不得不进行变革，因为周围的广播世界正发生变化。
The commercial TV channels — ITV and Channel 4 — were required by the Thatcher Government's Broadcasting Act to become more commercial, competing with each other for advertisers, and cutting costs and jobs.
商业电视频道——ITV和第四频道——应撒切尔政府广播法案的要求进行商业化，彼此竞争广告业务，降低成本，裁减员工。
But it is the arrival of new satellite channels — funded partly by advertising and partly by viewers' subscriptions — which will bring about the biggest changes in the long term.
但从长远来看会引起最大变化的是新的卫星频道的出现，它们的部分资金来自广告收入，部分来自用户收视费。

"All men are created equal." We've heard it many times, but it still has important meaning for education in a democratic society.
“人人生来平等”这句话我们已听过无数次，但它对民主社会的教育仍然有着极其重要的寓意。

That concept implies educational opportunity for all children — the right of each child to receive help in learning to the limits of his or her capacity, whether that capacity be small or great.
这一概念暗示了所有儿童都有接受教育的机会——即每个儿童，不管其本身的能力大小与否，都有权利在学习上最大限度地得到帮助。
